What's Hot/What's Not

foxtrot, it was more a question than statement, hence the question mark at the end... but you've answered it anyway.

Blue Collar - protocol outlines a 'rebound is the controlled recovery of live ball by a player ater a shot has been attempted.' There is however an option to credit a rebound to a team on the software, which is not in the protocol, but may be practised by some statisticians. If the ball is tapped, the rebound should be credited to the person who first controls it, but in this case, some stats people may (incorrectly) credit a team rebound.

As for the rest of your missing 22% of rebounds, when there is a foul on a rebounding contest, the rebound will often not be recorded. And the ball does goes out of court more often then you'd think.

What's Hot
The NBA final series.

The Academy, when is the new breed going to be decided?

Tigers shooting! 48% from outside, 50% FG.

Chicken Dinner's

Deep ABL rotations.

RJ's team reports, can't wait for the Classic report!

Aussies O/S. Fingers crossed Bucks pick up Bogut, could be the spark Australian Basketball needs!

Statisticians.

What's Not
Eagles - are the too Newley Dependant?

Eastern - in a slump

Parking Inspectors - no mercy

Shallow ABL rotations, dont leave quality players sitting for sake of older players ego's.

People who abuse umpires.

Umpires who get intimdated by coaches, and benches.

Multiplex - ouch.

Haters.

haha, no. I know better than to abuse umpires, as i said, i am an umpire.

It just frustrates me that the general standard of umpiring at ABL is sliding.

This guy was clearly intimidated by Sturt, and his umpiring was affected because of it. I have to give him credit for doing two games back to back, but that's the only positive i can find.

Peter Maravich, are you the guy sitting behind me and shouting abuse at the umpires all night?

I hate to do this being a ref myself, but the umpire who did two games at the Eastern v Sturt fixture.

Constant chatter with sturt, several warnings, then layed two T's on Eastern. Would call a foul if any one breathed too heavily on the wafer thin Ninja, in the first 3 quarters.

Not only that, but before he would call a foul to then bench, would glance at the Sturt coaching brigade. C'mon mate, you dont need their permission to call a foul...

Was very quick to disappear at the end of the game... hope the evaluator wasn't too harsh on him.

What's hot

APH

M.Bauer, played quality minutes.
D.Ng's second half 3 point shooting
